I grew up in L.A., and I don’t think I’ve seen L.A. onscreen in a way that felt real to me. There are definitely movies, but they are few and far between.
Zoe Kazan
I want to see as many movies as I can and I covet a lot of weird influential movies.
Kat Dennings
The thing is there have been American movies that are similar to Solaris, like Alien had a lot of things that are similar, although it’s also got the horror element.
Alex Winter
I find playwriting really painful. I love it, or I wouldn’t do it, but I don’t love the theater as much as I love movies.
Zoe Kazan
Back in the ’70s, like one of my favorite movies ever was ‘The Bad News Bears’, and that was a kids’ movie, but I don’t think of it that way. I think of it as just a great movie because Walter Matthau was so funny and so harsh with those kids.
Jack Black
The thing about movies these days is that the commerce end of it is so inflated and financiers are just expecting this enormous return on their investment.
Alex Winter
I love bad movies, whereas going to the theater for me is a painful experience. I think it’s really hard to sit and watch actors do something live and have it not go well.
Zoe Kazan
The trick of making movies in this culture is how to not give up everything that makes them worthwhile in order to get them made – and that’s a tricky balance.
Alex Winter
I find playwriting to be incredibly difficult compared to screenwriting. Part of it is that I grew up watching movies and not watching plays.
Zoe Kazan
I guess I watch movies to make myself happier a lot.
Mike Mills
What bugs me is that movies don’t reflect how interesting and vibrant women are. We don’t treasure women as they get older.
Jill Clayburgh
I think filmmakers want their movies to be seen.
Alex Winter
There’s some movies I watch, they’re kind of like my anti-anxiety pill, my anti-depressant pill. I watch them at least once or twice a month probably. And I never stop learning from them as a filmmaker.
Mike Mills
James Cameron has always been way ahead of the curve in terms of the use of technology in his movies.
Joe Morton
We have a very wide range of content, but the brand-newest movies, what’s happening with those is a $30 pay-per-view option – not from Netflix but from DirecTV and others – of movies that are in the theater.
